Death of a Crow

So, I was just settling in at my work desk (next to the window to my garden) to sit on my ass, listen to today’s Revenge of the Cis, and maybe – just maybe – do some actual goddamn work. But first: I was snarking with my brother via...

The Zamo the Destroyer Show #194

New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: In theory it’s June, but Zamo has seen little evidence of the sun, so probably the humans are lying once again… just like when Technical Support Monkey spews a bunch of crap about solar cycles as if the cool temperatures have...

Chugging along on that “comic”

Not much to report, at least not that’s all that visually interesting at the moment. For the “comic” I’m working on (about the wassailing traditions in England), as I said in my last post, I realized that until I finish the text I can’t be 100% sure of the...

The Zamo the Destroyer Show #193

New episode of the Zamo the Destroyer Show, finally: After a long hiatus which must surely be the humans’ fault (as everything always is), Zamo is back… and sorely disappointed in Technical Support Monkey’s refusal to drop dead of corona AIDS like CNN promised all the humans would. In...

Comic layout/thumbnails/tests

Been working on layout for a comic project, including doing thumbnails for page spreads. But I realized I need to finalize the text before I can start drawing – ie, if I have too much text to easily fit on A5 pages, I’ll have to bump up to US...

Book arrival… and work on another book…

So, parcel delivery apparently happens on Saturdays, at least for Amazon orders… which is weird because it all comes via Canada Post who usually never deliver on weekends, but I guess since we’ve all been on house arrest to satisfy the goddamn corona Karens everyone shops online instead of...

Portfolio sites up and running

Mostly, anyway. I think I have to tweak a bio over the weekend somewhere. I’ve split my portfolio into 4 chunks: painting & drawing, illustration, digital art & design, and textiles work, because that seemed like the most logical way to do it. Right now it seems like almost...

Back to the drawing board…

Literally. So it’s been almost a year since I last updated here, which will look like like the first post because there’s years’ worth of content that I didn’t feel like digging through and locating and reposting images etc to make it all work again so they’re all drafts....

Sketchbook March 11 2020

“Notes” from the evenings garden club lecture on irises. (Written later to help sort out theme and layout, and backdated to when it happened, will probably leave it, though)...

Cowichan Exhibition 2019

So, I made this improvised modern quilt for over one of the headboards at my house, and I wanted to do a design incorporating all the batiks I love as well as some of my own hand-dyed fabrics but still making it modern. Apparently I succeeded based on the...
